cherry constitute the character Of the fur
niture. The carpet and rugs are of the
finest patterns and shades. And to add
to the other attractions there is a veran.
dab around the whole of the first floor, and
balconies from all Of the principle rooms.
On top OF the building is a spacious pavil.
ion giving wide view OF the la ndscape, en-
bracing the mountains and the valley.
AMONG THE CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS
are the damming of the Soda Springs creek
at the base of natural basin below the
hotel. which will form an artificial lake OF
large dimensions. which will be stocked
with fish OF different species. with boats
and adorned on either shore with drive
way set in trees and shrubbery. T..is great
work will be undertaken at once and be in
an advanced stage of progress by next
season. With the cOnsumtnation of these
plans feel safe in predicting that this will
within q short time be the most attractive
and popular resort for health and pleasure
in the whole inter mountain country.
THE HOTEL MANAGEMENT
at the Springs is OF the best class. 1 was
pleased to fnd A. ID. Young and his charm.
ing wife, son and daughter here. I had the
pleasure OF knowing Mr.. Young when he
was in charge OF the celebrated Lake Park
Hotel at Minnetonka. in Minnesota. and
WAS delighted to find him in charge OF tho
Idahanna as general manager for the Pa.
ritic Hotel company which he has charge
Vi nineteen of the best hotels west Of the
Missouri river. Here ~ at Minnetonka I
found the table service the neatest and the
fare the best that could be found anywhere.
All that the market affords was on the
A~H A-
luscious fruits from California and Utah
Idaho and Montana constituted the menu.
Mr.. Young is ably assisted by j. H. Hop
kins, lately OF Omaha. but large ranch
owner in Wyoming and Frank bing. we'll
known Derve rite in the days gone by but
more recently of Omaha. Diningroom
girls. neatly attired served the egues's. The
rooms are kept in perfect order, and are
lighted by the incandescents, power for
which is generated by the saw mill OF the
company "a, a Quarter a4 of ,n;.%as a mile
from Soda Springs creek by a pumping
process. Mineral water is soon to be served
in boths amply provided in the house and
for the table. In short the hotel ia modern
in all OF it's equipments and apartments.
THE FUTURE OF THE RESORT
is fraught with promise. The magnificent
hotel has as yet only been informally
opened. The formal opening will be
August IL, when excursion rates will be
given from all points on the Union Pacific
system from Omaha to the Pacific and
from Garrison to Ogden and in fact from
all points as was stated in SPECIAL Satur-
day night. Then the roadbed OF the line
where the change OF gauge was effected will
be in perfect order. And l may say
that the passengers on the recent excur-
sion found that no part of the track was
in better condition for fast running than
the Utah Northern. Everybody who went
over the line was delighted with the time
made not only, but with the safety OF the
track as we'll. The splendid condition OF
the track on the Utah Northern after the
hasty change OF gauge was q matter OF
marvel to everybody. The change was q
triumph IL railway engineering that
should be appreciated in any land. BY
the 18th inst the new gauge will be per-
fectly aligned, bal!asted and surfaced. SO
there call be no possible danger to the
rapid running OF heavy excursion trains.
